Luis Suarez has been the most lethal frontman in Europe over the last three season, and not because of his teeth. Ever since he joined Barcelona, the Uruguayan has stepped up his already incredible form at Liverpool to an atmospheric level, especially when considering the 2015/16 season – where Suarez converted 28.79% of his chances.

In his time with the Blaugrana, Suarez has shot on target 160 times – to put it in perspective, Chicharito, the #2 player on this list, has shot 144 times, both on and off target! La Liga defenders have recognized the danger he poses, and stick tighter to him, which has increased the amount of shots blocked.

A conversion rate of 25.08% over the last three seasons is the best in the world, and I would not bet against Suarez retaining his crown.
